‘Examining bidirectional associations between sleep and behavior among children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder’

Open Access paper from JCPP Advances

Background – Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have more sleep problems than their peers which contribute to behavioral and functional impairments. This study examines the bidirectional relationship between nightly sleep (i.e., total sleep time and sleep efficiency) and daily behavior of children with ADHD.
